exchange students rock!

I would like to share with you some of my experiences during a exchange program in 2006. I went to the United States on August 18th in order to improve my english skills and have lots of fun! I lived in a small city called West Bend, in Wisconsin, a northern state close to the Great Lakes. I stayed in a family's house there, The Sextons, and they were really awesome. They took me to places that I always wanted to be.

Steve and Doris Sexton, my dear american parents. He is a Economics teacher and she is an English teacher at the High School I went.
At school I was a Senior, it's like the last year of high school. My teachers were great, the school was amazing, because it was a public school and it was much better than lots of private schools down here in Brazil.

This is my locker, something I always dreamt to have one day. You can see my pictures and some sheets of paper all over it lol.

This is the cafeteria of West Bend East High School, the food there was really good and it was just like the movies we see here, with those funny lunch ladies lol.
And meet Mr. Burch, a really nice Spanish teacher, but the class made him go crazy, poor guy.

I made lots of friends, most of them were exchange students too, because we all had something in common right? They were from China, Italy, Germany, South Korea, Colombia, Bolivia and also Brazil.

This is a picture of when we went snowtubing , it was awesome! All exchange students.
This picture is me and my exchange students friends at a school party from the Homecoming week, which was really fun cause we had to dress up costumes for a week, and than there was a ball with king and queen of the ball, really funny.
I lived there for a semester, and it was the best time of my life. Maybe I'll come back to visit them sometime soon.
Oh, and yeah, I got some extra kilos while I was there, like about 10!!!!! So, don't laugh at my pictures, please. lol
